Select the right shaft-riding brushes for turbomachinery

Since the mid-1950s, much progress has been accomplished in
the development, design and production of shaft-riding brushes
for turbomachinery applications. The machinery includes steam
and gas turbines, gears, turbocompressors and ship propulsion
systems. The brushes assist in controlling shaft current
problems, especially under conditions in which the shafts
operate at high-surface velocity, oil-splash and other
susceptible environments.
